Too young to die

Writing my last letter

You never know when you gonna die

Don’t tell me no lies

I’m going to that bye and bye

They say I killed a man in Dallas

cuz he looked me right straight in the eye

No money gonna buy my freedom

Don’t let me cry dear Lord don’t let me cry

Bible by my bed

Won’t lift these shackles on my soul

I’m too tired to live and toooooo too young to die

Prison walls are weepin’

Prison guard won’t look me in the eye

They all know I never done it

Lawyer took my money n said no way you’re gonna die.

Bible by my bed

Won’t lift these shackles on my soul

I’m too tired to live and toooooo too young to die

Too tired to live and o lord I’m too young to die
